Update:

Currently testing out alternatives again because of high encoding failure rate with Kaltura Community Server.

Thanks for all the input. I'm currently weighing Kaltura against using Amazon S3 for storage and something else for transcoding. Video has support for S3 and, as you mentioned, Zencoder. I'd rather just plug up Kaltura and get on with it, though.

Steve, can you elaborate on what kind of bad experience you had? Was it an issue with support? Performance? Code quality? Integration issues? ... And with what versions of relevant components were you working?

@christopher
I also tried out and follow the video module progress.  It seems like
they are making a lot of progress there.  It is tightly integrated with
zencoder.  Might be worth test driving for your purposes as well.

   thanks for that link, btw, funny I never came across it while
   implementing the system.  I did a lot of googling to :)

       I never used the release in question above.

       We built an entire POC using the Kaltura module(s) and the
       Kaltura Community Server
       http://www.kaltura.org/project/community_edition_video_platform on
       the backend in 7 days.  Community support could use some
       improvement but the product (especially KCE) is quite amazing.

           Wow! Hadn't seen that. Thanks Bill, had no idea.

           But the module page is normal and there is a current
           recommended release.

           What gives?

           Has the issue been resolved, then?

               Before using Kaltura, I would recommend auditing the
               code to check how the Kaltura module interacts with your
               site. This has not always been disclosed to end users.

               See http://drupal.org/node/847952

               I have used Kaltura. They have an excellent module,
               very well designed and documented, both for viewing
               and for conducting business with the Kaltura server.

               You can try it for free.

               The only problem I had for several clients was that
               the cost seemed a little steep at the time (given
               their budgets), but that may be an uninformed opinion
               on my part. One client used it successfully for a
               video contest campaign.

                       Does anyone have experience with Kaltura? Does
                       anyone have other
                       recommendations? I've done lots of video in
                       Drupal, and I know about the
                       standard approaches. But I'm about to build a
                       site with 1000+ HD videos,
                       roughly 3 mins each. I'm looking at
                       recommending a CDN for this site,
                       and so I've gone ahead and signed up for a
                       free Kaltura account for use
                       with the kaltura module. It looks good, but
                       I'm hoping for helpful input
                       from people who've been down this road before.
